For me, it's the way you can work your way in. I started with experience of four tracks back in the day, then GarageBand for iPad. I could start really easily at that level and then build it up bit by bit to more polished final results. Definitely not there yet, but enjoying the journey. For me this...

Wow - lots of lovely toys. Interesting to see a lot of pedals. I'm taking the view that cow I'm quite well sorted for pedals and amps that I like the sound of, I don't think I'm going to bother with amp apps etc. Odd drum setup.

The compromise is that the space won't be big enough, or away-from-kids-enough to have very loud stuff like live drums or valve amps, so I'm cheating with my Roland drums and valve attenuator etc. I reckon, from what you've said, s...

Right, home studio project is GO, so I'm after your top tips for an iOS home studio. There's plenty of 'spend loads of money on pro grade equipment' advice out there, but I reckon a load of that advice is rubbish. I have a £70 condenser mic and a £450 industry standard one. Can I tell the difference...

I have a terrible habit of maxing out my levels. Comes from a background of noisy analogue recording (at least that's my excuse) and I always end up having to reduce levels and struggling with going into the red, or over compressing. Next project will be under strict rules of no maxing out levels du...

Wow. It's inspiring to go through all these setups. My setup looks different depending on whether I'm using the living room, conservatory (only any good for electronic drum tracking because of the cat that keeps jumping on the roof!), or the utility room. For me, that's the joy of the iPad - fabulou...
